The sustainable way: paving and compaction systems from Dynapac

The burning of fossil fuels has drastically increased the blanket of greenhouse gases around the earth. The resulting increase in global temperatures is significantly changing the complex web of systems that allow life to thrive on earth. According to forecasts by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the consequences could be frequently flooded coastlines, disruptions to food and water supplies, and the extinction of many species. These frightening scenarios force us to act today to contribute with sustainable solutions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This paper deals with sustainable paving and compaction solutions from Dynapac. Furthermore, it also highlights the fact that revolutionary new technologies already exist but are not used on a large scale.
